REU Site: DIMACS REU in Computing Theory and Applications Impacting Society

该项目是 DIMACS（罗格斯大学）正在进行的 REU 站点的延续。从全国各地招募的本科生参加与理论计算机科学基础和应用相关的夏季研究项目。该项目每年都会从不同群体（包括女性、弱势群体和非研究机构）招收 10 名优秀本科生。该网站的一个优势是指导团队的经验和专业知识，他们过去能够产生宝贵的研究经验和优秀的研究出版物。许多过去的学生继续追求成功的研究生涯。该网站提供各种各样的项目，从电路复杂性、图形匹配和纠错码等理论主题到机器人规划、主动学习、安全和隐私等更多应用主题。它还提供与社会相关的项目，例如食物网、分析免疫肿瘤相互作用和基因组折叠。其中许多都是前沿的研究项目，不仅培养学生的研究技能，而且让他们接触各自的研究领域。学生还受益于该地区的 DIMACS 行业合作伙伴。该项目将带来可发表的研究成果，并有助于建设未来的劳动力。

This project is the continuation of an ongoing REU site at DIMACS (Rutgers University). Undergraduate students recruited from across the nation participate in summer research projects relating to foundations and applications of theoretical computer science. Each year, the program recruits 10 outstanding undergraduate students from diverse groups including women, underrepresented groups, and non-research institutions. A strong point of this site is the experience and expertise of the mentoring team, which has been able to produce valuable research experiences and excellent research publications in the past. Many past students have gone on to pursue successful research careers.The site offers a wide variety of projects ranging from theoretical topics such as circuit complexity, graph matching, and error-correcting codes to more applied topics such as robot planning, active learning, security and privacy. It also offers socially relevant projects such as food webs, analyzing immune-tumor interactions, and genome folding. Many of these are leading-edge research projects that not only develop students' research skills but also give them exposure to respective research areas. The students also benefit from DIMACS industry partners in the region. The project will lead to publishable research and contribute to building the future work force.
